- LMAX is a Neutral Service
LMAX is an Multilateral Trading Facility which in essence is like a traditional Exchange bringing buyers and sellers together.
Your market orders are matched with another retail traders or one of the liquidity provider. Certain limit orders you place may also add liquidity and can be taken by other traders or the liquidity providers. - Greater Transparency
You can place your orders within the spread and if you get filled you will be charged a commission fee. LMAx acts as an exchange and it clears CFDs through LCH.Clearnet, while spot FX & Metals trading are carried out according to a bi-lateral clearing between members under ISDA (International Swaps and Derivatives Association) agreements. LMAX offers no settlement risk once orders are matched and novated to a central counterparty.
- Tight Spreads and No Requotes on CFDs and FX
When you place an order on LMAx it will be visible to all market participants. As LMAx doesn’t operate a dealing desk, your orders will be filled according to the transparent order book based on the available liquidity. - What Are Centrally Cleared CFDs?
Opposed to traditional Contracts for Difference, ccCFDs differentiate because they are centrally cleared. The advantage of turning these traditionally OTC products into Exchange traded and centrally cleared, provides traders with greater transparency.
